Gu Qingcheng, a young florist from the "Flower Capital" of Pingcheng, is guided by a mysterious firefly and accidentally inhales the "flower spirit" of a white peony while trying to save it. Little does she know, this white peony is actually Lyu Gengyun, a thousand-year-old half-demon. Since childhood, Gu Qingcheng has been determined to revive 9,999 flowers, following her father's dying wish, believing that once she succeeds, the Flower Immortal Lord will take her to the heavens to meet the person she longs for.
